It has been awhile since we had any news posted. Not that we did not have anything to report, but Loladene decided to install an upgrade on the Real Life Series expansion. I heard a little bird whisper that there might be more expansions from that series being due as well ...

So what happened since the last update? Easy answer: A lot!

First of all we opened recruitement. Literally to all classes, even Mages! So if you are looking for a cool guild check out our forums and read the guidelines for applications or contact us online. Don't be shy!

So now the important question. What did we do online? Well, we did some farming, some more farming and after that we farmed a bit more. And we had guild firsts!

Fippy's new beefed up version was no match for our massive waves of wiping. In one of the previous raids we sacrificed our glorious raid leader to ensure perfect conditions and after a warm up in South Karana we felt ready.

What is there to say, he is dead Jim and we got the chest!

Another strange thing happened: Our usually AFK casters woke up on his loot and started to spend dkp! Rare indeed!

Grats all the first Fippy winners on their loot:

Mythrill - Sabertooth Shoulderguards
Leleane - Palladium Encrusted Carpal Clay
Docoe - Mask of the Undying
Balogh - Palladium Encrusted Phalangeal Clay

Even on the 2nd kill our casters were still big spenders. Keep it going guys.

I want to point out that Jyve is our best haxx0r player ever! He is the Chuck Norris of EQ!!!

Another guild first was the Beast thing in the cooling chamber. Again we used our superior „wipe with force“ (tm) in the beginning to refine our strategy and were rewarded with an almost flawless victory.

Grats all first time winners!

Xatranaz - Strongest Link
Vearre - Palladium Encrusted Phalangeal Clay
Jitatha - Collar of Dimensional Control
Zhaelli - Palladium Encrusted Phalangeal Clay

We will be back to gank this mob soon enough!

I wish I could say more about those two amzing victories, but I haven't been on much lately and missed those fantastic fights! All I can say good job Jitatha and Goldax, our raid leading team!

One thing we did for sure is farming. From our last news update you know that we won all Tower Events. We went back there over and over and over and over and over and over again to improve our tactics and gear up. And we did improve. Even clerics know their way to tower entrance now. Of course we don't ask them to run there and they can convienently slack like most of us until the banner is set.

Farming stuff long term affects all members of a guild. Wizards go afk, others don't log on and some, just some keep up the spirit!

One of them is Shadowbeaver: Mostly seen dead, Shadowbeaver still tries to cheer people by providing a good head start for jokes.

Of course some couldn't resist...

And some really try hard to get on the front page. Grats Peppar, I am indeed looking for screenshots nowadays and you made it!

And now one word about the former News updates! Kudos to Lola! This takes load of time! I hope we have you back soon!

That's it from me for now and my first update. I try to post more regular than it happened lately and hope Lola will take it over soon again ;)

Let's talk about the new expansion!

DING 85! Oh wait that happened last year. Umm, yeah, ding awesome spells! Errr, wait there aren't any. Hmm, Oh I know Ding new AA's! Nah, they suck and are unthoughtful.
To be honest nothing in the new expansion is new except this...
Cast Spell, summon, 7k, 7k, 7k, 7k, Return to bind, 7k, 7k, 7k....
With visions of Gates of Discord raping in my head! Thank you Sony for putting anyone who is casually geared, (no one in our guild of course), in a place where they won't get anything for a long time as the Mercs can't sustain any of that punishment!
And that achievement system, which I was personally looking forward to, looks like a last minute oh yeah lets put that in there as well instead of something fun and helping to spice up the game a bit. Good job at siphoning money out of the masses!

Ok enough of the bashing Sony stuff. You guys wanna hear about new kills!
Well lets see there have been more then one new guild firsts in the past two months. In fact there have been 10 guild firsts! I know, I slack. Bite me.
I won't go through for the grats on all the targets will only point out a thing or two from the last target. But to the naysayers I offer you this. When I last updated we had all of the Tower of Discord plus two events in the Earth Expedition!

I'm not going to bother doing a grats on the gear gotten there as most has been upgraded with gear since then, but a hearty grats to those who won gear on those two mobs. Oh and yes I was drinking when I was cutting and pasting that pic.

So obviously that leaves us with 8 events to talk about.

Those events are:

1. Mindblight
2. Trophy Room
3. Stasis
4. Scrying
5. Sacrifice
6. Elite Tower Guards (ok not a real event but has a lockout)
7. Overlord Muram
8. Edge of Destruction

I was going to talk about how hard these events were, the trials, blood, sweat and tears that went into each and every event... but minus the tears from Tryg, none of that happened. As a matter of fact there is an old saying that goes like this. A Picture is worth a 1000 Words.

Grats to Balogh on Fateslayer

Tendil on Cloak of Darkest night

Jitatha and Ayochak on Phased Coeveal incandessence

So we beat Seeds of Destruction two days after launch of Underfoot. Not bad for some casual raiding lunactics!
Although, it is of my opinion, that we beat the true boss of SoD last October when we beat the Zek brothers!
If you doubt me, take these statistics into mind. We were the 53rd guild, server wide, to beat the Citadel.
So far only 50 have beaten the Earth Theme, and a good chunk of them geared up in Tower to beat the Zek brothers.

The only thing we have left to do for progression is best told to you by someone who has experience on the topic.

So I'd like to say be safe during this holiday season, good cheer and all that bah humbug.
With That I leave you with these small quotes from out ever colorful ... guild chat.

Jit has been listening to Jeff Foxworthy lately, and put a bit of twist on you might be a redneck if...

Do you love chocolate? I love chocolate? Who else loves Chocolate?

Mythrill loves choclate as well!

We got some new people in guild... but where are they?

Who could be the leader of this conspiracy?????!?!?!?!

Who hasn't gotten enough Ranger hate? Take a look at this pic

So Jit asked the question...

But thats not all! Even SONY knows that rangers suck!

Speaking of hate, there is a new form. Its Pally on SK

Slappah was late one day and Jitatha had to inform him about priorities

Jitatha has been hanging out with the Pallies too much!

Hardabit has had troubles lately...but you kind of wonder. What the F*** is wrong with Paladins?
Speaking of Hardabit. Anyone who gets culinary advice from Siegfried is asking for it!

Since we are on the subject of Pallies and recently talked about Jitatha. This quote begs to wonder. Is Jit lieing or not? After all he is a Vah Shir.
First we have admitance

Then we have denial!

But that statement does make you wonder. How the hell does Sieg know?

Please though don't get Sieg Excited

Or else he might try to lure people in

At least the paladins have someone to talk to on more senitive matters dealing with animals

Enough with Siegfried, what about Tryg you ask? Well Hardabit was trying to give him advice since he's always down on his luck.

I was beginning to think Tryg was getting older and starting to develop standards

I thought wrong

Well everyone, thats enough for this installment, I might blow bandwidth if I keep going. Since it is the Holiday Season, I was searching for the sort of zen moment that would fit the season. with all this talk about Sieg, I could only come up with this!

Until next year
